The White Sox need to go 6-9 to avoid their third-straight 100 loss season. Speaking of avoiding a date with destiny, they are also stuck on 61 players used this season; two shy of the franchise record of 63 that was set last year.
Kyle Teel is running a 20-game on-base streak, which is tied with Juan Soto and Bo Bichette for the longest active on-base streak in the league.
Cleveland leads the all-time series between these teams at 1,312-1,311. Everything is at stake.

Note from the team: Dan Altavilla was released.
As an injury reminder, Grant Taylor is unlikely to pitch in Cleveland due to his right groin strain.
